The spectroscopy and structural dynamics of a deep eutectic mixture (KSCN/acetamide) with varying water content is investigated from 2D IR (with the C-N stretch vibration SCN$^-$ anions as reporter) THz spectroscopy. Molecular simulations correctly describe non-trivial dependence both spectroscopic signatures depending on content. For spectra, MD relate steep increase in cross relaxation rate at high to parallel alignment packed anions. Conversely, non-linear absorption increasing mainly...
New coarse-grained models for imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) were developed using the Martini force field. They able to not only reproduce structural properties but also allow simulations of liquid–liquid extraction experiments.
Vibrational spectroscopy in supersonic jet expansions is a powerful tool to assess molecular aggregates close ideal conditions for the benchmarking of quantum chemical approaches. The low temperatures achieved as well absence environment effects allow direct comparison between computed and experimental spectra. This provides potential data which can be revisited hone different computational techniques, it allows critical analysis procedures under setting blind challenge. In latter case,...

Abstract Uncertainty quantification (UQ) to detect samples with large expected errors (outliers) is applied reactive molecular potential energy surfaces (PESs). Three methods–Ensembles, deep evidential regression (DER), and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM)—were the H-transfer reaction between syn -Criegee vinyl hydroxyperoxide. The results indicate that ensemble models provide best for detecting outliers, followed by GMM. For example, from a pool of 1000 structures largest uncertainty,...
An essential aspect for adequate predictions of chemical properties by machine learning models is the database used training them. However, studies that analyze how content and structure databases impact prediction quality are scarce. In this work, we quantify relationships learned a model (Neural Network) trained on five different reference (QM9, PC9, ANI-1E, ANI-1, ANI-1x) to predict tautomerization energies from molecules in Tautobase. For this, characteristics such as number heavy atoms...
The structure and dynamics of a molecular system is governed by its potential energy surface (PES), representing the total as function nuclear coordinates. Obtaining accurate surfaces limited exponential scaling Hilbert space, restricting quantitative predictions experimental observables from first principles to small molecules with just few electrons. Here, we present an explicitly physics-informed approach for improving assessing quality families PESs modifying them through linear...
Ionic liquids (IL) are remarkable green solvents, which find applications in many areas of nano- and biotechnology including extraction purification value-added compounds or fine chemicals. These liquid salts possess versatile solvation properties that can be tuned by modifications the cation anion structure. So far, contrast to great success theoretical computational methodologies applied other fields, only a few IL models have been able bring insights towards rational design such solvents....
